Yeah. Btw for the actual replacement I highly recommend to do it with
a semantic patch and cocci. There's unfortunately not a hole lot of
good documentation around, but we recently started and it helps a lot
with regenerating patches (e.g. for newly merged drm drivers) and
avoiding mistakes for manual conversions. If we do a cocci patch we
put it into the commit message, grep for @@.
